In the early morning, Liu Yun, who had been practicing at the inn for many days, had breakfast, put on the tiger face mask, put the bamboo hat on his head, and went to the Yamen Gate.
Zhang Wen came over last night to inform him that he would go out of the city to suppress the bandits this morning.
When Liu Yun came to the yamen gate, he saw many heavily armed soldiers standing at the yamen gate.
Liu Yun took a quick glance and found that there were two thousand soldiers, three hundred of them, including cavalry on tall horses. The soldiers were all wearing black armor, holding soldiers in one hand, shields in the other, and carrying crossbows on their backs, in an orderly manner.
Standing, exuding murderous aura, giving people a strong sense of oppression, you can tell at a glance that they are elite soldiers who have fought on the battlefield.
Next to the soldiers stood eight or nine people dressed as knights and knights.
These people should be people from the martial arts world recruited by Sun He. There is no first-rate warrior, the strongest are two second-rate warriors, and the rest are all third-rate warriors.
With the generous remuneration offered by Sun He, he could only recruit so many people from the martial arts world, which is enough to prove that the top forces like the Ye family have a terrifying dominance over the martial arts world in Dafeng County, and those top-notch martial arts forces would not dare to offend Hu Xu at all.
These Jianghu people also covered their faces and did not dare to show their appearance, fearing that they would be targeted by the warrior forces in Dafeng County and suffer retaliation.
Liu Yun had no intention of chatting with him, but just watched quietly from the side.
Accompanied by brother Zhang Wen, Sun He was giving a lecture in front of the formation, making passionate speeches and looking excited.
After about half a stick of incense, Sun He stopped lecturing, and then came to him with a soldier in armor, about thirty years old.
"Brother Wang, this is my nephew Zhou Yun, a second-rate warrior. I would like you to help and look after him when he is fighting with the bandits. Don't let him have any accidents."
Sun He briefly introduced Zhou Yun and made a request to Liu Yun.
Liu Yun's facial features under the mask wrinkled slightly, and he said calmly, "Master Sun, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. I may not be able to protect myself by then. I can only do my best, and I can't give you any guarantee."
Naturally, Liu Yun would not tell lies. If Zhou Yun was killed by bandits during the suppression of bandits, wouldn't Sun He want to cause trouble for him?
Sun He nodded and did not force Liu Yun. He also knew that the battlefield was dangerous and even if Liu Yun was a first-rate warrior, it would be difficult to guarantee someone's complete safety.
He brought Zhou Yun here because he wanted Liu Yun to take him seriously.
Sun He introduced Liu Yun and other Jianghu people in front of the soldiers, and then ordered them to go out of the city to suppress the bandits.
The leaders of this team are naturally the Zhang Wen brothers.
More than two thousand people left Black Rock City in a mighty movement, exuding a chilling atmosphere.
At the gate of the city, many people spontaneously came to send farewell and encourage the bandit suppression team.
The people living in Black Rock City also hate bandits extremely. Due to the rampant banditry, prices of various commodities have been rising, making their lives very poor. They all hope that the new prefect, Sun He, can completely wipe out the bandits.
Bandits in Feng County.
Liu Yun rode the horse prepared for him by the Yamen and followed the team, as did other people in the world.
The goal of their trip is Qingfeng Village!
The eighty-nine people in the arena all looked a little nervous.
But Liu Yun was calm and didn't have any strange emotions.
There are nearly a thousand ordinary robbers in Qingfeng Village, and there are five first-class warriors, which is about the same strength as the Black Tiger Gang.
With Liu Yun's strength and Zhang Wen's soldiers, it is actually not difficult to capture Qingfeng Village. Even if someone is killed, Liu Yun is confident that it will definitely not be him.
"Brother Liu, if the suppression of the bandits goes smoothly this time and I get the money promised by Mr. Sun, I will retire from the world, find a matchmaker to find a wife, and live an ordinary life."
"I'm tired of this kind of life of fighting and killing. If my trip goes well, I'll give up. When I get back, I'll redeem myself for the girl I like, find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in seclusion, and start a new life."
"I came to fight bandits to earn a bride price and marry the girl I love. We have already set a wedding date."
Several people walking side by side communicated and began to imagine a better life in the future.
"drive!"
Liu Yun listened to the discussion of the people in the arena next to him, suddenly clamped his horse's belly and rode away from them.
"When fighting robbers, you must stay away from them and never get close to them." Liu Yun warned himself in his heart.
I don’t know where Sun He recruited these talents. Not long after they left the city, they started setting up flags one by one.
If nothing happens to these people, something will happen.
"Brother Wang, when we attack Qingfeng Village, we will rely on you to kill those leaders."
When the march came to the vicinity of Qingfeng Mountain, Zhang Wen ordered the entire army to rest, rode his horse to Liu Yun's side and spoke out.
"Brother Zhang, this is natural." Liu Yun nodded heavily.
After resting for half an hour, Zhang Wen led the entire army to approach Qingfeng Mountain again.
At the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, many tall watchtowers were built, with bandits carrying bows and arrows standing on them, all looking attentively at the surrounding situation.
"The officers and soldiers are coming!"
Liu Yun and the others had just arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain when they were discovered by bandits from Qingfeng Mountain. One of the bandits yelled and began to ring the bronze bell hanging on the watchtower to warn them.
There are too many soldiers suppressing bandits and it is difficult to hide and move forward. It is normal for them to be discovered.
"Whoosh"
A harsh sound broke through the air, and a pitch-black arrow was seen, piercing the air like a cold star, driving the airflow forward and shooting out.
"puff"
The sound of tearing flesh and blood was heard, and a Qingfeng Village bandit who was beating the bronze bell was directly pierced by the arrow in his throat, and his body shook and fell from the watchtower.
"Brother Wang, you have good archery skills."
Zhang Wen looked at Liu Yun and praised him, saying that the arrow just now was shot by Liu Yun.
Even though Liu Yun has not specially practiced archery, his five senses are far more sensitive than ordinary people, and he can use bows and arrows with ease, which is no worse than the crossbowmen who have fought in the army.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"
Immediately afterwards, continuous sounds of piercing the air were heard, and arrows pierced the air one after another, as dense as raindrops, shooting towards the bandits in Qingfeng Village. Under Zhang Wen's order, the soldiers of Black Rock City had already used crossbows.
Almost all the soldiers of Qingfeng Village who were defending at the foot of the mountain were killed by arrows, and their bodies turned into hedgehogs.
Attacking Qingfeng Village is not a difficult task for the elite soldiers of Black Rock City. Ordinary bandits cannot be the opponent of the elite soldiers.
No matter in terms of equipment or training, these bandits cannot compare with elite soldiers.
The difficulty in suppressing bandits lies in how to kill the several major bandit leaders in the village.
Sun He recruits martial arts masters mainly to deal with bandit leaders.
Because if the bandit leader is not killed, even if the stronghold is captured, it won't be long before the bandits will reappear. After all, ordinary robbers are very easy to recruit.
If you burn down some villages and destroy some rice fields so that ordinary people cannot survive, you will naturally be able to force good people to become bandits.
Only by killing the bandit leader can the rampant bandits be completely eliminated.
After dealing with the warning bandits, Zhang Wen, Liu Yun and the others soon arrived at the gate of Qingfeng Village.
The mountain gate wall of Qingfeng Village is made of wood and stone. It looks strong and tall. It is already full of bandits holding bows and arrows. They are all ready. Looking at the slowly approaching bandit suppression team, everyone is watching.
He showed a fierce light and his face was ferocious.
They all know that they have done many evil things, and once they fall into the hands of officers and soldiers, they will have no way out and can only survive by working hard.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, the two immediately started shooting at each other.
Due to the tall and thick gates and walls of Qingfeng Village, the bandits in Qingfeng Village used this to dodge the defenses. A hail of arrows shot down, but not many of the bandits were killed.
The anti-bandit team was well-trained, and when faced with the rain of arrows, they had already raised their vine shields high to form a shield formation to resist the rain of arrows.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
The rain of arrows fell on the vine shields, making a sound like drumming. It was quite dense. The soldiers holding up the shields kept retreating, but they were able to withstand it for the time being.
"Peng" "Peng" "Peng"
Several loud shaking sounds were heard, and the bandit suppression team used powerful armor-piercing crossbows.
The power of the armor-piercing crossbow is extremely powerful, far more powerful than ordinary crossbow arrows. The arrow is thick and sharp, and when it is shot out, the swirling air flow roars.
The shot hit the city wall of Qingfeng Village, and the fortifications made of wood were directly shot to bursts. Even those made of stones were also shattered and shaken by the shot.
Several robbers were shot to death immediately.
Liu Yun watched the battle and knew that if he wanted to quickly eliminate Qingfeng Village, he had to open the gate of Qingfeng Village as soon as possible and let the bandit suppressing soldiers rush in.
Liu Yun's eyes narrowed, and while the robbers in Qingfeng Village missed firing a round of arrows and fired their bows again, he galloped out on horseback.
